the House and Senate need to appropriate relief. Mr. Trump can only wait

This morning on-air I pointed out a country officially 20-trillion-dollars in debt (the figure could be higher, nobody really knows an exact amount) may soon not have any resources for dealing with disasters. Puerto Rico should also be considered a warning. The island’s population is 1/100th of the entire nation. What would an electro-magnetic pulse do to the grid on the mainland? Would Congress be able to rapidly react? Would there be money available for rebuilding? If not then welcome to permanent Third World Status.
